What is fond regards
what is fond regards? same as best regards?
Top answer
"Fond regards" implies that you know the person well, and like them very much. It is not appropriate for formal letters. In England, we might say "she is very fond of horses"; we actually mean she adores horses!

00 It just means a rather more friendly version of kind regards. You would only use it with people you knew but not people you had an intimate sort of relationship with, so not best friends or family, more old school friend you haven't heard from for years but used to be close to, you have fond memories of them. 0-

Couldn't one sign fond regards to a person you were intimate with but not anymore?

Interesting that, I have just done the very same thing with an ex. girlfriend.
What would my current girlfriend make of it if she read it though - she might read a little too much warmth in 'fond regards".
Might be better to use "all the best", or "take care" instead.
(Alternatively, if you want to inject even more warmth, just use "fondly,")

My Father a few months before he passed away sent what would be His last birthday card to me.
He signed the card off:
'With Fondest Regards'
I thought this strange as wondered why he didn't say love. For a while I found it difficult to reconcile as was a little hurt. After he passed on I confided in a friend and they reframed this for me. Often we sign a card off 'with love'
